NOTING SATURDAY'S MATCHUP

• Saturday’s game at Wofford’s Gibbs Stadium is Appalachian State’s 148th and final SoCon road game. The Mountaineers are 88-57-2 (.605) in conference road games since joining the SoCon in 1972.

• The contest is also the last one in the forseeable future between Appalachian and Wofford. App State leads the all-time series, which dates back to 1960, 17-12, including an 11-5 advantage since the Terriers joined the SoCon in 1997.

• However, over the past decade, the series has turned into one of the SoCon’s fiercest matchups. Appalachian holds a slight 6-5 edge in 11 meetings versus Wofford since 2002 while either the Mountaineers or Terriers have won at least a share of eight of the last 10 SoCon championships.

• Appalachian State is coming off a strong showing at Southeastern Conference powerhouse Georgia last Saturday. The Mountaineers trailed the Bulldogs, who moved back into the Associated Press top 25 this week, 14-6 at halftime and 17-6 with less than five minutes to go in the third quarter before UGA pulled away for a 45-6 victory that was much closer than the final score would indicate.

• Like Appalachian (2-8, 2-4 SoCon), Wofford (5-4, 4-2 SoCon) has lost back-to-back games with defeats to SoCon front-runners Samford (34-27 on Oct. 26) and Chattanooga (20-10 last Saturday).

• While Wofford can still win a share of the SoCon title with victories over Appalachian State and Furman to close the season and a Chattanooga loss to Samford on Saturday, a defeat to App State would not only end the Terriers’ hopes for a conference crown but also likely eliminate them from contention for a fourth-straight postseason berth.

• As is usual in the Appalachian State-Wofford series, Saturday’s matchup pits two distinctively different offensive styles. With its spread offense, Appalachian ranks second in the SoCon in passing (275.7 ypg). Utilizing a triple-option attack, Wofford is third in the league and seventh in NCAA Division I FCS in rushing (262.1 ypg).

• Appalachian State senior wide receiver Andrew Peacock needs just four catches on Saturday to become the program’s all-time leader in receptions, breaking the record of 202 set by current St. Louis Ram Brian Quick from 2007-11.
